[Verse 1]
Old Doug Livesay
Boots and a busted grin
Front barstool preacher
Sippin’ cheap Berlin gin
Says
“I been ‘round the world
Boys
Seen some sights you can’t unsee”
Then he leans in sideways
“Wanna hear some dirt from me?”
[Chorus]
He’s a gossip queen
Douglas
Spillin’ tea like a tipsy teen (hey!)
Talkin’ ‘bout ballchicks
Exes
Neighbors
Any poor soul on the scene
German tales and southern drawl
All tangled in nicotine
Lonely old man at the end of the bar
But he walks in like a gossip queen
[Verse 2]
He says
“Back in Düsseldorf
I had ‘em lined up out the door”
Then he winks at the drummer
“Can’t tell that one anymore”
He’ll roast your haircut
Then your mama
Then your band
But when the jukebox quiets
He’s just starin’ at his hands
[Chorus]
He’s a gossip queen
Douglas
Spillin’ tea like a tipsy teen (oh yeah)
Talkin’ ‘bout ballchicks
Exes
Neighbors
Any poor soul on the scene
German tales and southern drawl
All tangled in nicotine
Lonely old man at the end of the bar
But he walks in like a gossip queen
[Bridge]
Yeah he loves that talk
‘cause it drowns that ache
Fills the cracks
Where the heart might break
Raise your glass
Let the old boy preen
Every king in this dive
Needs a reign as a gossip queen (hey!)
